Definitions

  • This application relates to the supply of high pressure cooling air to a blade outer air seal through an outer diameter chamber.
  • Gas turbine engines typically include a fan delivering air into a bypass duct as propulsion.
  • the fan also delivers air into the compressor where air is compressed and delivered into a combustor.
  • the air is mixed with fuel and ignited. Products of this combustion pass downstream over turbine rotors driving them to rotate.
  • the turbine rotors in turn, rotate compressor rotors and the fan rotor.
  • Blade outer air seals typically sit radially outwardly of the blades and maintain clearance to increase the efficient use of the products of combustion.
  • blade outer air seal is a so-called self-acting clearance control blade outer air seal.
  • two components formed of different materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion combine to control the expansion of the blade outer air seals to, in turn, control the clearance with the blade.
  • Both the blade and the blade outer air seal are provided with cooling air.
  • the cooling air must be at a higher pressure than in the past.
  • the highest pressure in the gas turbine engine is that downstream of a high pressure compressor.
  • this cooling air is also at relatively high temperatures.
  • WO 2014/134513 A1 discloses a prior art gas turbine engine as set forth in the preamble of claim 1.

  • Alternative engines might include an augmentor section (not shown) among other systems or features.
  • the fan section 22 drives air along a bypass flow path B in a bypass duct defined within a nacelle 15, and also drives air along a core flow path C for compression and communication into the combustor section 26 then expansion through the turbine section 28.
  • the exemplary engine 20 generally includes a low speed spool 30 and a high speed spool 32 mounted for rotation about an engine central longitudinal axis A relative to an engine static structure 36 via several bearing systems 38. It should be understood that various bearing systems 38 at various locations may alternatively or additionally be provided, and the location of bearing systems 38 may be varied as appropriate to the application.
  • the low speed spool 30 generally includes an inner shaft 40 that interconnects a fan 42, a first (or low) pressure compressor 44 and a low pressure turbine 46.
  • the inner shaft 40 is connected to the fan 42 through a speed change mechanism, which in exemplary gas turbine engine 20 is illustrated as a geared architecture 48 to drive the fan 42 at a lower speed than the low speed spool 30.
  • the high speed spool 32 includes an outer shaft 50 that interconnects a second (or high) pressure compressor 52 and a second (or high) pressure turbine 54.
  • a combustor 56 is arranged in exemplary gas turbine 20 between the high pressure compressor 52 and the high pressure turbine 54.
  • a mid-turbine frame 57 of the engine static structure 36 is arranged generally between the high pressure turbine 54 and the low pressure turbine 46.
  • the mid-turbine frame 57 further supports bearing systems 38 in the turbine section 28.
  • the inner shaft 40 and the outer shaft 50 are concentric and rotate via bearing systems 38 about the engine central longitudinal axis A which is collinear with
  • the core airflow is compressed by the low pressure compressor 44 then the high pressure compressor 52, mixed and burned with fuel in the combustor 56, then expanded over the high pressure turbine 54 and low pressure turbine 46.
  • the mid-turbine frame 57 includes airfoils 59 which are in the core airflow path C.
  • the turbines 46, 54 rotationally drive the respective low speed spool 30 and high speed spool 32 in response to the expansion.
  • gear system 48 may be located aft of combustor section 26 or even aft of turbine section 28, and fan section 22 may be positioned forward or aft of the location of gear system 48.
  • the engine 20 in one example is a high-bypass geared aircraft engine.
  • the engine 20 bypass ratio is greater than about six, with an example embodiment being greater than about ten

  • the geared architecture 48 may be an epicycle gear train, such as a planetary gear system or other gear system, with a gear reduction ratio of greater than about 2.3:1. It should be understood, however, that the above parameters are only exemplary of one embodiment of a geared architecture engine and that the present invention is applicable to other gas turbine engines including direct drive turbofans.
  • the fan section 22 of the engine 20 is designed for a particular flight condition -- typically cruise at about 0.8 Mach and about 35,000 feet (10,668 meters).
  • the flight condition of 0.8 Mach and 35,000 ft (10,668 meters), with the engine at its best fuel consumption - also known as "bucket cruise Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption ('TSFC')" - is the industry standard parameter of lbm of fuel being burned divided by lbf of thrust the engine produces at that minimum point.

  • the low fan pressure ratio as disclosed herein according to one non-limiting embodiment is less than about 1.45.

  • pressurized air passes through a heat exchanger 104 where it is cooled, such as by air.
  • the heat exchanger 104 may be in the bypass duct as described in Figure 1 .

  • the mixing chamber 108 may be downstream of a diffuser 110 which is downstream of the downstream most portion 111 of a high pressure compressor.
  • the air in mixing chamber 108 is mixed with air shown schematically at 113 from a diffuser chamber 120 which surrounds a combustor 118. This air is generally at the same pressure as the air leaving the downstream most point 111.
  • the mixing chamber is defined radially outwardly of a compressor diffuser 110 and the air passing through vanes within the compressor diffuser.
  • This mixed air is shown at 112 passing to cool turbine blade 114.
  • Another tap 116 taps cooling air from the mixing chamber 108. This air is passed into a chamber 122 defined between a cooling air chamber wall 121 and a core engine outer housing wall 123. This air passes into another chamber 124 and across a blade outer air seal 126.
  • blade outer air seal 126 includes a seal 128, a first component 130, and a second component 132.
  • the components 130 and 132 may be formed of materials having different thermal coefficients of expansion and they self-regulate a gap between an outer tip of the blade 114 and an inner surface on the seal 128.
